1 Large Hadron Collider Himadri Barman TSU, JNCASR September 18,
2 Large Hadron Collider (LHC): Plan We ll see 4 short videos. In between I ll give you a little guideline. Purpose is to understand the event at very basic level. After we finish the last video, we ll have an open discussion. So no questions in between (Time-management courtesy ). 1
3 What s LHC? What happens inside LHC? Proton accelerator of the energy 7 TeV two proton beams are being sent in opposite direction to collide each other. Contained in a circular tunnel circumference = 27 kilometres (17 mi) depth from 50 to 175 metres underground. 2
4 LHC design 3
5 ATLAS: A Toroidal LHC Apparatus. CMS: Compact Muon Solenoid. LHCb: LHC-beauty. ALICE: A Large Ion Collider Experiment. TOTEM: Total Cross Section, Elastic Scattering and Diffraction Dissociation. LHCf: LHC-forward. LHC: preaccelerators. p and Pb: Linear accelerators for protons (Linac 2) and Lead (Linac 3). (not marked) Proton Synchrotron Booster. PS: Proton Synchrotron. SPS: Super Proton Synchrotron. 4

7 We are talking about TeV 1 TeV =10 12 ev Energy scale An adult female mosquito weighs only about 2.0 milligrams 1 ev = 1.6 x Joules 1 TeV = 1.6 x x Joules = 1.6 x 10 7 Joules 1/2 m v 2 = 1.6 x 10 7 Joules, m = 2 x 10 6 kg therefore v = 0.4 m/s = 1.4 kph Apparently Mosquitoes can fly about 1 to 1.5 miles per hour. 1 mph = 1.6 kph so our mosquito is a little slow, but the comparison is a good one. (Courtesy: glossary.htm) 6
8 Hopes for outcoming physics 1. Higgs Boson (Standard Model): 2. SUSY (Beyond standard model): 3. Extra dimension (String Thoery): 7
9 Higgs Boson First let s look at the Standard Model (Murray Gell-Mann 69) 2 classes of particles: A. Matter building particles: Fermions (half-integral spins) 6 Quarks: u,d;c,s;t,b and their anti-particles 6 Leptons: e,ν e ;µ,ν µ ;τ,ν τ and their anti-particles B. Force mediating particles: Bosons (integral spins) 4 fundamental forces exists in nature! Electromagnetic force is mediated by photons (γ) [eg. Coulomb force, magnetic force, EM force]. Weak force is mediated by W ± and Z bosons [eg. β-decay]. Strong force is mediated by gluons (g) [eg. Force to hold protons and 8
10 neutron together in a nucleus]. Gravitational force is mediated by gravitons (yet not found and not in SM) [eg. Force that makes an apple fall down]. Now what are hadrons? Particles made up of quarks and held together by strong forces. Best known examples : protons (p) and neutrons (n). 9
11 VIDEO-2 and VIDEO-3 10
12 But where are the Higgs? Goldstone s Theorem: For every spontaneously broken continuous symmetry, there must exist a massless boson (J. Goldstone, 1961). E+W unification Electroweak (EW) force: (Abdus Salam, Sheldon Glashow and Steven Weinberg ( 68), Nobel Prize 79) Used Non-Abelian gauge theory (Yang-Mills) with gauge bosons such as W and Z particles. But gauge bosons should be massless! Break the symmetry. Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB). 11
13 One massless vector boson (photon)+two massive vector bosons (W and Z) + one scalar boson (Higgs particle?) found. Wait! Goldstone s theorem (GT) says, SSB means existence of massless bosons. Then...? Ans. SSB+gauge theory overrules GT. This is the Higgs theory (Higgs 64)! Since other mediators are also gauge bosons, it s assumed that they also becomes massive due to the Higgs field Higgs is responsible for matters to have masses So don t we see Higgs at all? Yes! In cond. matt physics. Superconductor! Photons get mass in relativistic sense (Meissner effect) (Anderson 63) 12
14 Supersymmetry (SUSY), beyond standard model Motivation: Hierarchy problem problem with Higgs mass. For every type of boson there exists a corresponding type of fermion, and vice-versa. Supersymmetry partners are called sparticles eg. electron has selectron (spin 0), photon has photino (spin 1/2), Higgs (spin 0) has Higgsino (spin 1/2). sparticle may have higher mass compared to their particle-partner. WIMP (Weakly interacting massive particles) are supposed be candidates for Dark Matter 13
15 Extra dimension, string theory Black holes are produced at the energy scale of the order of Plank scale (Planck mass= 1.22 X GeV/c 2 ). It can form at weak scale too! String theory is there to help. (Randall-Sundrum model, ADD model : 4 spatial dimensions). Black hole!!! Earth will be swallowed!!!??? No! Hawking radiation is there BH s are tiny Radiation will be higher and faster evaporate as soon as they form. Now Hawking has a chance to get a Nobel Prize! 14
